diggin dirt Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 this might be the wrong forum but... my parts man might be lazy but he cant find the gaskets for my dual air cleaner r model. i think they measure 15 in. OD and 13 in. ID with 12 holes for 5/16 bolts. there are 2 gaskets that appear to interchange. i would love to walk in the parts house with a part # and show that guy. any help would be much appreciated.

Solution j hancock Posted November 17, 2014 Solution Share Posted November 17, 2014 Try Mack 16MD23 which crosses over to Donaldson P116891 and Baldwin G25-AF.

85snowdog Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Ok, everyone should be sitting for this………….this is what happened with meAs always j hancock has the # right. In my opinion anyway.When I buy filter elements from Mack, they started not coming with the gasket. Not usually a big deal because they are usually in good shape.My R688 needed the filter gasket ,so I had to order one from Mack. The gasket 16MD23 has another # also, not sure if it is the volvo #, its 21A02 It is what you described diggin , 12 holes, aprox. 15 inches O/DIt cost $ 38.83. The filter element 57MD31A cost $ 33.76I can't figure this out, I guess its above my pay grade. Here's a pic of my air cleaner diggn, hope it helpsKeith 1 Quote Keith Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37763-cant-find-air-box-gaskets-for-77-r-model/#findComment-267100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead204 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 damn that's a little pricey head to the local craft store and buy a 4x8 sheet of foam rubber for 5 bucks and get out a magic marker and a pair of scissors and make your own. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37763-cant-find-air-box-gaskets-for-77-r-model/#findComment-267113 Share on other sites More sharing options...

diggin dirt Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 i'm sorry i'm so slow to respond to everybody but my puter took a dump for ahwile. i took the j hancock advice and ordered the baldwin g25-af and they are a perfect fit. my parts guy wont look at me in the face when i walk in the parts house. they only cost me 6 bucks each. i'm self employed and use my 77 r model most every day. i rebuilt my engine with help from you guys and it runs like a champ. thanks again!!! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37763-cant-find-air-box-gaskets-for-77-r-model/#findComment-269172 Share on other sites More sharing options...
